Cruz Azul dominates the Concacaf, but America and Inter Miami are hot on their heels
Cruz Azul and America continue to lead the Concacaf in the September standings, but Inter Miami is just a stone’s throw from the top
Cruz Azul's Sky Blue Machine, despite its resounding failure in the Leagues Cup, continues to dominate the most recent Concacaf standings, but is narrowly followed by America and Inter Miami, who are hot on their heels and at any moment they can overtake them.
According to this classification of the clubs affiliated with this organization, the cement team remains in the lead, followed by America, leaving aside the disastrous 7-0 that Seattle Sounders applied to them or also the premature farewell of the Eagles in the same competition.
These results were taken advantage of by Inter Miami, who reached the final against the Seattle team, where they lost in a clear way, but which affected very little in the pursuit that they continue to carry out against the Mexican teams in this classification.
In the most recent data it can be seen that the Cruz Azul team dominates with 1,265 points, escorted by America and Inter Miami with the same number of points, followed by Toluca, Columbus Crew, Tigres UANL, Vancouver Whitecaps, Monterrey, Seattle Sounders and LAFC.
Without a doubt the results of the last official competition at the club level in CONCACAF had a lot to do with it, since that allowed Inter Miami to take a significant leap in the standings over Cruz Azul, to the point that they now share second place with America.
But the reality is that the one who climbed too many rungs was undoubtedly the Seattle Sounders who managed to climb 12 rungs to place themselves among the top ten in the football field, even surpassing the powerful LAFC team who occupies the tenth position compared to the ninth of the team from the northwest coast of the American Union.
Is the Leagues Cup a competition tailor-made for the MLS?
After knowing the results of the most recent Concacaf qualification, the question that continues to float in the environment of the Leagues Cup undoubtedly arises, regarding whether this competition is not tailor-made for Major League Soccer (MLS) teams to benefit.
It would be very risky to make this judgment, especially because the Liga MX teams know the rules of the competition in advance and it is not the responsibility of the Leagues Cup for Mexican teams to use this tournament to fine-tune the last details of the preseason.
The clearest example occurred with Mazatlan and Puebla, who reached important stages of this tournament, but in Liga MX have not been able to function, demonstrating that many teams in the Mexican competition.
